I think Warren could win if she could channel a populist, and if she were capable of skewing Trumps racial fears and absurd personalityWell, I'm still a right leaning social moderate/libertarian …. and I won't vote for Sanders, and Warren would have to convince me she acutally understands working class whites who are stuck, and will remain stuck, in service jobs and truck gardens.I think the data shows, or at least what I saw yesterday so maybe it's the same source data, that in places like Minn, Wisc and … PA he might have narrow wins … if the suburbs don't turn out with enthusiasm. If the dems run a candidate who can be branded "socialist" …. he might win.How is that a model showing he'll win? Rural areas make up a small portion of the overall vote. It's the suburban areas Trump needs to win and right now the Republican Party is faltering, hence the result of last year's midterms.
I tend to think 2020 is two things. A referendum on the current president and a war of the bases. There simply is not that big of a so called moderate middle anymore.
I think much of the word Warren has done has been to protect consumers and tax payers from fleecing corporations hiding behind fine print and shady business practices which is why she is responsible for starting up the CFPB, also pro union/worker and would like to redo our tax line up to help the middle class. But that's for another thread.
Ok, so you're a right leaning social moderate/libertarian. Then you are on the right and the Republican party just isn't doing it for you. I'm not sure who you voted for in 2008 and 2012 but probably not Obama if you're any sort of libertarian. You are a casualty of the war of the bases.
I think she is a populist, a real one, not a demagogue like the douche in the White House now. I have to say when Warren first jumped in, while I agree with her policies I didn't like her as a candidate. I was concerned that she may be perceived as Clinton 2.0 or come off as some far left socialist (ignoring what the wingnuts say, they thought Clinton was a communist). She has made it a point to have a plan for damn near anything, which is the polar opposite of Trump who never seems to have a plan, at least not one he sticks to.
I think she can do it, I just hope she doesn't try to come up with "clever" comeback lines for Trump. Just call him an asshole, point out his many failings and for the love of god keep talking about the middle class.
